This is a multicenter extension study of two European randomized, double-blind studies (V419-007 and V419-008). It describes long-term persistence of hepatitis B and pertussis antibody responses in healthy 4- to 5 year old children previously vaccinated with Vaxelis® or INFANRIX® hexa

Percentage of Participants Responding to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an enhanced chemiluminescence assay for antibodies to HBsAg. Response was defined as a titer \>=10 milli International units (mIU)/mL. Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the exact binomial method of D. Collett.
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 4 years after completion of the 3+1/2+1 schedule)
Percentage of Participants Responding to Pertussis Toxin
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for antibodies to pertussis toxin. The unit of measure is ELISA units/mL. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ)=4 EU/mL. Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the exact binomial method of D. Collett.
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 4 years after completion of the 2+1 schedule)
Percentage of Participants Responding to Pertussis Filamentous Hemagglutinin
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin. LLOQ=3 EU/mL. Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the exact binomial method of D. Collett.
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 4 years after completion of the 2+1 schedule)
Percentage of Participants Responding to Pertussis Pertactin
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis pertactin. LLOQ=4 EU/mL. Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the exact binomial method of D. Collett.
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 4 years after completion of the 2+1 schedule)
Percentage of Participants Responding to Pertussis Fimbriae
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis fimbriae. LLOQ=4 EU/mL. Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the exact binomial method of D. Collett.

Geometric Mean Concentration of Antibodies to HBsAg
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an enhanced chemiluminescence assay for antibodies to HBsAg. The unit of measure is milli International Units/mL (mIU/mL). Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the t-distribution of the log-transformed antibody concentration.
Time frame: Day 1 (approximately 4 years after completion of the 3+1 or 2+1 schedule)
Geometric Mean Concentration of Antibodies to Pertussis Toxin
Participant serum samples were collected for testing with an ELISA for antibodies to pertussis toxin. The unit of measure is ELISA units/mL (EU/mL). Confidence Intervals were calculated based on the t-distribution of the log-transformed antibody concentration.
